Reproduction Dator-Lite Hoods

Hi Guys,

The hood are going to be gel coated about the same color as the NOS original that was the pattern for the mold. That is a medium grayish color. The hood will need paint and do not include a hinge or any hardware.

Thanks,
-Joe

Are these hoods still for sale?

Yes they are, but I only get them made in small batches. Let me know if you are interested, as I have one standing order already.

Thanks,

Per a previous post. What is the difference between a regular dater hood and a lite?

Thanks for the insight.

Hi,

The factory 1976 production Dator hoods were basically a Liquifire/Cyclone type hood that had a hole cut in it and a Liquidator hood scoup bonded into it from the underside. The total weight was about 30 lbs.

The "77 Up-Dator" hoods were one piece and much thinner than the regular hoods and only weigh about 10 lbs. My reproduction hoods had the mold lifted from an NOS Dator-Lite hood, but are a few pounds heavier for structural reasons.

I hope this answers your questions...

Hey Joe,

I was wondering if you have any Dator Lite hoods for sale. My original is pretty hashed and I was hoping to maybe get one from you someday. How much are they by the way?

Thanks,
Brian

P.S. you have mail
